Overview & Reviews
The Eclipse returns for 2006 with a dramatic redesign.
- Torquey V6 with great exhaust note, outstanding seat comfort, nimble handling for a front-driver, stylish interior with simple controls and ample cargo space, exceptional Rockford Fosgate stereo.
- Heavy for a sport coupe, sluggish four-cylinder engine, excessive torque-steer on GT, big turning radius, cramped backseat, no stability control.

The most fun you can have on 4 wheels! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By GTinSilver - February 16 - 10:40 amThe Mitsubishi Eclipse GT is an awesome sports car. The insurance is affordable and the car is loaded with extra features. The styling is similar to the second generation, and in 5 years Im looking into getting the 5th generation Eclipse. I think they should call the convertible model - the Solar Eclipse, rather than the Spyder.

Best of Three Eclipses Ive Owned - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Mitsuwomn - January 27 - 10:50 amLooks like a future car both interior and exterior. The V6 engine is quite powerful & the car handles great. It is much tighter than the 3g version. Its my every day driver and it makes my commute fun!

Great Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Kia - January 12 - 2:23 amI have this car for a month and I have put 1,200 mills on it. I love driving this car. Its beautiful, comfortable, and fast. I very much like the new designe of the new Eclipse, it very much looks like the 350Z and the Audi TT or even the Mazda RX-8.

This thing is amazing - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By eclipseboi4u - December 30 - 5:33 pmThis is an amazing ride. It handles great and has one of the best safety ratings. Stock, its component sound system is great. I have completely redone new speakers all the way around plus 2 subs which improved the sound, which is great still using the factory head unit. The 4 wheel ABS with front wheel drive is great especially for those tight turns. As for a 2.4L 4 cyl with 162 horses under the hood isnt bad for a stock 4 cyl. Hey the gas mileage is great if you use premium gas. If you use low grade, you will burn gas faster and probably reduce your mpg by 5%. If you want to greatly improve your mpg horsepower and torque do what i did... add a cold air intake & full exhaust.

The way the Eclipse was meant to be! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Jason From Jersey - September 17 - 9:50 pmThis car is a pure and powerful head turner. The perfect blend of style, performance, and personality. This is a car that tuners can appreciate due to its 263hp and 260 torque. This car rivals the likes of the Mazda RX-8, Nissan 350z, Infiniti G35, Acura RSX, Toyota Celica, and the Ford Mustang 2005. More spacious backseat then the Generation 1 & 2 but still maintains head clearance issues in the back seat. Overall however its a perfect car for a tuner or someone who just cant afford that new BMW. So go out and take a test drive today and you can be sure to see the value.

Tire Wear - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Misty P. Toole - August 15 - 12:13 amI really love this car! I am on my second Eclipse-just love the RF music system, and the way you just want to drive this car constantly! The downside of the 2006 Eclipse GT is that the tires need to be replaced much too soon in comparison to other "Low Pro" enhanced vehicles.What ever happened to 36,000 miles for tire life expectancy? I have 11,000 miles on my car, and at $309 per tire? I hope that the new Chevy Camaro is out for my next purchase!

Stunning Car - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By azkid - August 12 - 1:00 pmThis is an extremely beautiful car. This would be my first car and i am very surprised by what this car has to offer. Sure the back seat is practically useless, but hey, its a sports coupe! Go get a sedan if youre looking to haul around family and friends. This car gives pretty decent mileage and the turning radius is not as bad as everyone claims it to be. This car is an amazing value. Lots to offer for the price. The Gt has PLENTY of power and the sportronic transmission works very smoothly. Also, interior is stunning at night time. Wouldnt want any other car for a first car than the eclipse.

This car may very well save Mitsubishi! - 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse
By Seadofan - July 25 - 1:36 pmI purchased in mid-June. I just love this car! It reminds me of my 95 Eclipse GSX. This is the fourth Eclipse Ive owned. Interior style updated with driver ergonomics in mind. Spacious interior (salesman says car is wider than Ford Explorer) with sexy body lines make this one a real looker. Ride is firm with only a touch of torque steer. 350Z & G35 both exceed price of the Eclipse. Living in the midwest, I have to consider performance in winter conditions. FWD Eclipse handling in adverse conditions trumps RWD 350Z & G35s handling. Dealer called me to advise of recall on master cylinder, offered a free loaner so I could do errands during repair. Kudos on customer service!
